The Marathon cinematic looks so breathtaking it deserves a whole TV series
Briefly

Bungie's reveal of Marathon has garnered attention for its exceptional cinematic directed by Oscar-winner Alberto Mielgo. This mini sci-fi movie features vibrant visuals and a narrative focused on character struggles on Tau Ceti IV. While the game itself has drawn mixed reactions due to its art style, the cinematic is hailed as a compelling storytelling piece, blending photorealism with abstract art. The premise involves consciousness transfer to combat in a brutal hero shooter environment, addressing fan concerns about diverging from the series' roots.
The eight-minute animation sets the scene for the game's background as characters scavenge for loot on the abandoned colony of Tau Ceti IV.
